Lawler is the most decorated champion to ever have a WWE contract, with over 140 championship reigns. Not one is in WWE.

I double checked Wikipedia and counted, getting 235 total.

R Truth will be halfway to that by the end of the year >_>

For reals tho, Lawler's a legend

Watching that end of the... 17? season where he had no shoulder and couldn't get the ball 15 yards downfield was sad.

'18 season, and it sucked because he was producing better numbers the first 8 games than he was in 2015 at the same point.

Nearly every racist Panthers fan on Facebook blamed Cam for every loss afterwards, even the one where the defense allowed 45 points from Pittsburgh.

I dont really care about football anymore, but I live in NC and Iv'e seen a lot of people hate on Cam Newton, so I guess this is a good thing for them?

NC native and I see the same. It's not good for them though; Carolina's offensive line is still garbage, their coaching staff is Baylor 2.0, and they overpaid for a guy who started 6 games in the last 4 seasons. Also, Bridgewater's best season was 14 touchdowns in 2015. Fourteen. Cam had 15 touchdowns in the first 8 games of 2018.

Patriots schedule...
Miami, Buffalo, and NYJ twice
The NFC West
The AFC West
Baltimore
Houston

At worst, 4-2 in their division (Miami and/or Buffalo surprising them). Split the NFC West for 2-2 (winning against LA and Arizona). 3-1 in AFC West, losing to Kansas City. Baltimore's probably a loss, Houston's definitely a win.

At worst, 10-6. Maybe 11-5.

One thing I did when the 2000s ended was compare the first Raw of the decade to the last. Here's how the 2010s fare...

January 4, 2010
Maryse defeated Brie Bella (w/ Nikki Bella)
MVP defeated Jack Swagger, Mark Henry, and Carlito in a Fatal 4-Way match
Triple H & Shawn Michaels (c) (w/ Hornswoggle) defeated Chris Jericho & the Big Show to retain the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships
Sheamus defeated Evan Bourne
Randy Orton defeated Kofi Kingston
- Headline of Raw was Bret Hart's first appearance in 13 years as he and HBK bury the hatchet, and a segment with Vince plants the seeds for their match at Wrestlemania.

December 30, 2019
Aleister Black defeated Buddy Murphy
Erick Rowan defeated Kip Stevens
Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya
The Street Profits defeated the OC
Drew McIntyre defeated Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins
Andrade (with Zelina Vega) defeated Ricochet in a non-title match
- Headline of Raw was the wedding between Lashley and Lana that featured interference by Rusev and Liv Morgan

From the 2010 Raw...
Active in WWE: MVP, Sheamus, Orton, Kofi
Part-time in WWE: HHH, Big Show
Might show up for a random promo: HBK, Mark Henry
Taking time off due to kids: Maryse
Probably retired: The Bellas
AEW: Chris Jericho, Jack Swagger
lol: Carlito, Evan Bourne, Hornswoggle

Looking through the results, the only really sad part is how poorly Civ 2 did. Wouldn't consider that obscure, especially since B8 seems to have a good chunk of Civ fans.

Civ is normally one and done here too, regardless of seeding.

Time Crisis appears to actually be a 1995 game according to wikipedia

This got brought up during the nomination topic, cause I tried saying the same thing to the first guy nominating Time Crisis. He sent me a link to an Arcade museum site verifying that TC was released in 1996.

https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10114

I'm gonna try to be flexible on releases going backwards. Yes, NA releases will still be most prominent, but if a game never got released in NA (Terranigma for example), then exceptions will be made.

Final Thoughts

Once the nominations were tallied up and every game was ranked from highest to lowest, there was zero doubt on what the championship was going to be. Mario 64 and Mario RPG were both groundbreaking titles, and their closest competition included the following...

- Side scrollers from Donkey Kong and Kirby released in Super Nintendo's final big year
- A survival horror game that would have aged even more poorly if a remake didn't happen 6 years later.

The N64 was groundbreaking and the basic launch titles were here, like Mario, Pilotwings, and Star Wars. The PS1 and Saturn were still young also, with Playstation getting Twisted Metal 2 in the Elite Eight at least plus Crash Bandicoot in round 3, and the Saturn getting Guardian Heroes to round 3 with an easy 4 pack.

The amount of fodder in this tournament was unheard of. Resident Evil's division alone had 5 obscure PC titles alone, all of whom got wrecked. The one shining low seed was Metal Slug only getting one nomination, only to stun 4 games in a row for a final four appearance. Good on you MS!

A good tournament nonetheless. The two best games appear in the finals, and the overall 1 seed goes down once again.

Ultimate Loser: SMRPG > SM64 > DKC3 > Kirby > Guardian > Boarders > Tomb Raider

With the exception of '13, Tomb Raider has a history wasting space and seeing its last eligible entry get a 3 seed and burn out quick was somewhat delightful.

See you guys next month for 95

The '96 championship will go down as one of the best in tournament history, though it didn't start off that way.

RPG and 64 started off neck and neck for the first 14 votes. It was then that Mario RPG began to take off, getting as much as a 23-14 lead over the N64 juggernaut.

Mario 64, however, wasn't laying down for anyone. The next 15 votes would favor the 3D platformer, as 64 would outscore RPG 12-3 to tie it up at 26! Unfortunately for Mario 64, the final two votes would both be for Mario RPG (including UF8's vote at EXACTLY the 24 hour mark, the 0:00 buzzer shot of the match).

In an unlikely upset, your 1996 Game of the Year is Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars winning 28-26 over Super Mario 64!

Yesterday's match started out better than expected, as Dixie and Kiddy started right out the gate. In fact, Mario didn't gain his first lead until the 9th vote.

A respectable performance by Donkey Kong Country 3, but Mario 64 makes it to the finals with a 18-10 win.
